Wrington-Redhill Reserves defeated promotion rivals Portishead 6-1

Portishead Town A 1

Wrington-Redhill Res 6

THIRD-placed Wrington were up against promotion rivals Portishead, who were lying fourth in the league.

Wrington started the game brightly enough, but Simon Garrett headed a Portishead shot off the goal-line to stop the hosts taking the lead.

This spurred Wrington into life and striker Mick Edmunds was played through and coolly went round the keeper to put the visitor’s one up. It wasn’t long before Wrington doubled their tally when Chris Vowles scored a great goal and Edmunds grabbed his second to put the visitors 3-0 up at half-time.

The game was put out of Portishead’s grasp when Vowles added another two goals to grab his hat-trick and put Wrington 5-0 up, but Portishead pulled a goal back.

Substitue Dan McMullan scored a great goal to give Wrington another three valuable points in their quest for promotion.

Wrington Amors Stores man of the match was Paul Burnett.
